What happened to the Songs from your Era thread?

[horrie hastings]

Outstanding!
My dream is to form a quiz team , fly to England and take on the Eggheads.
Are you on board?

We were playing trivia one night at the Townie in Newtown many years ago,long before people used to pull out their mobile phones to cheat, the jackpot question was in 3 parts, two questions were about the TV show Malcom In the Middle which nobody on our table new much about, the third question was who sung the lead vocals on The Sparrow Song by the Seekers, three out the four people in our group new the answer. Most of the people playing trivia knew the Malcom In The Middle questions but our table was the only one who got the Sparrow Song question right, the answer was Louisa Wiselling., the actual organizer of the trivia came up to our table after it had finished and said how did we know the answer as he was sure it would stump anyone, we just said we were fonts of useless information lol.

I was playing in a movie trivia night fund raiser one night and the question was what was Ava Gardner's opening line in Earthquake and i was the only one who got it right. It was Goddddd dammmmit it.

And that's why we get on so well.My sister was the only person at a lunch in Melbourne who could name 5 Storm players. I said did you answer "Lying, cheating, stealing, wrestling and rorting?"

Ok these 2 came up today from a band I know someone likes. They do have the option to skip my war and peace posts just like I do with theirs and just hone in on the ones with music. I hope these are enjoyed in the spirt in which they are being posted:

Yes...................I'll pencil your name in as well.
Yourself and RWB can fight over who does the music catagory, I'll take history.

Yeah yeah..........Love that intro.
The lead guitarist basically sticks to the two chords we hear throughout the song...............and the bass takes over as lead.
As an ex drummer I'm in awe of that.

Love this one too from Peter Gabriel..Digging in the Dirt:


This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
Don't talk back
Just drive the car
Shut your mouth
I know what you are
Don't say nothing
Keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around
This is for real

Horrie and I never fight because he is a gentleman and has always treated me as part of his family and my family have the same opinion of him. Life is simple really when you are kind, calm and nice.

lol, I know that, but as team captain I wanna see some passion!
Trying to pick between yourself or HH to take on an egghead on music seems like an impossible choice.

How about a good anti-war song?
